About

A rules-based ETF mix that uses bond strength as a traffic light. It usually holds major stock ETFs, flips to their inverse when those look overheated, and parks in bonds when bonds are deeply weak. One sleeve uses a 3x inverse semiconductor fund.
NutHow it works
The portfolio is split into 4 parts. Each part watches a bond fund’s short‑term strength gauge (RSI: 0–100; >50 = rising, <40–45 = falling). If that bond looks firm (>50), it holds a matching stock fund (SPY, QQQ, IWM, SOXX) unless that stock is overheated (>70), then it flips to the inverse (SH, PSQ, RWM, SOXS). If the bond is very weak, it parks in that bond fund. Note: SOXS is a very volatile 3x inverse fund.
CheckmarkValue prop
Out-of-sample edge: ~27.2% annual return vs 20.1% for the S&P; Sharpe ~1.33 vs ~1.26; Calmar ~1.02. Uses bond-driven regimes with selective inverse sleeves for downside protection—though drawdowns can be higher.

FAQ

A Composer symphony is an automated trading strategy that executes trades based on parameters of your choice. Some symphonies are similar to holding one ETF in normal conditions and rotating to a different ETF when market conditions shift, for example a 5% drop in the S&P 500, while others use complex rules with dozens of triggers. However, complex doesn’t always mean better. A simple, well-structured symphony can be just as effective as an intricate one. Learn more about how symphonies work here.
